To Be Beautiful Means To Be Yourself. You Don’t Need To Be Accepted By Others. You Need To Accept Yourself

"My body aches and longs to be next to yours, feeling as if the very stars are in my heart.."

A hunger, a craving for you - eUë

without you

“I’m better off without you” were the last words you ever told me.

The last words from my favourite person.

The last words before my life went to the lowest point it’s ever been.

You were the one person i was sure i could trust, the one person i could always listen to and the one person i could always talk to.

You.

It was always you, everytime somone asked who i‘m texting, who i‘m thinking about, who i see as my best friend, i‘d say your name. But then on that day, the day exactly we met 5 years ago. You texted me „I‘m better off without you“ because someone you met less than a month ago told you lies about me, so obvious lies, things you should know I’d never do after knowing me for so long. After basically being my second half, and yet you still believed them.

She came like the morning fog and left as such by the afternoon there was no trace of her besides the dew on the grass, my heart

It’s like I’m reading a book. And it’s a book I deeply love. But I’m reading it slowly now. So the words are really far apart and the spaces between the words are almost infinite. I can still feel you, and the words of our story but it’s in this endless space between the words that I’m finding myself now. It’s a place that’s not of the physical world. It’s where everything else is that I didn’t even know existed. I love you so much. But this is where I am now. And this is who I am now. And I need you to let me go. As much as I want to, I can’t live in your book anymore.
